Characterization of Focal Hepatic Lesion Containing Fat with Balance SSFP Chemical Shift Imaging Sequence
Introduction Detection of fat within focal hepatic lesions is an important for characterization of these lesions, and the differentiated diagnosis will be limited in relatively small region. Fat saturation technique, STIR sequence and SPGR Tl-weighted chemical shift imaging have been used to detect fat in focal hepatic lesion. Balance SSFP (B-FFE, True FSIP or FIESTA) have been used in recent years. We have reported the application of balance SSFP opposed phase imaging in upper abdomen, however, in-phase imaging sequence was not available in our previous reports . In this study, we want to investigate the usefulness of in-phase and opposed phase imaging with balance SSFP sequence in characterization of focal hepatic lesions containing fat in comparison with SPGR sequence.
